HATFIELD & McCOY FEUD FAQ!

Are there still Hatfields and McCoys living in Pike County, Kentucky, and neighboring West Virginia today?

**YES!** Descendants of both families still call Pike County, Kentucky, and neighboring communities in West Virginia home!

While many descendants have spread across the United States over the generations, both families maintain deep roots in the Appalachian region where America's most famous family feud unfolded.

And don't worry, **the families aren't still feuding!** In fact, descendants have participated in reunions, historical events, and efforts to preserve their shared heritage. In 2003, representatives of both families even signed a symbolic peace treaty, celebrating reconciliation and putting the feud firmly in the past.

October 1, 1878 — A Disputed Decision

On October 1, 1878, Devil Anse Hatfield won a land dispute against Perry Cline, a cousin of Randall McCoy. The McCoys believed the court’s ruling was unjust, deepening resentment between the families.

This decision added fuel to an already smoldering feud that would soon turn violent.

In January 1865, Union veteran Asa Harmon McCoy returned home with a broken leg, and a target on his back. While hiding in a cave near Blackberry Creek, he was tracked down and killed by Confederate guerrillas, members of the Logan Wildcats. Jim Vance, Devil Anse Hatfield’s uncle, was later named as a suspect, while Devil Anse’s involvement remains disputed.

The next major event associated with the feud, the Hog Trial, did not occur until 1878, thirteen years later.

Was Asa’s murder truly the beginning of the Hatfield-McCoy Feud, or was it Civil War violence later folded into the feud’s legend? What was the reason behind the murder?
